What springs to go for?

[Liquid yellow 182]

Currently got the cup pack springs on my 182 but have been looking at eibach or apex using the search which gave me mixed reviews of apex being perfect height but bumpy and eibach good ride but to high up? Any help would be great.

Eibach sportlines.

Are the eibach lower than the cup pack springs?

 

[JackJack]

Not sure i would have thought so. Get the sportlines they lower more than the prolines.

Are the eibach lower than the cup pack springs?

Yes the sportlines will be about 25mm lower than your current setup. The Proline springs will lower your car about 5mm.

Seems most on here opt for sportlines, they are a good spring.

If you want much better handling then look into some coilovers

Looking towards the springs as I can't afford coilovers and tbh don't need them as I won't be tracking it much if at all.

ive got eibachs on my 197 with cup shocks and theyre mint

better ride and a bit lower than cup (-25mm FF or -15mm cup)

for me the ride height is perfect and the ride is better now and the handling is great too.

depends if you want looks or ride quality/handling really

I've got sportlines on mine, they're brilliant.

Apex have pretty terrible reviews on here...

After both really but can't win by looks of it.

If I must

I'll be selling these in a couple of weeks as I'm getting 15'' wheels and need to go lower...

Depends how many miles you've done and which 1s I go for between these and apex

 

[jack_kemp]

They were on when I bought it, I've got the receipt though, I'll check the miles.
